• Notes

  Susannah was born in Wallace Township, Perth Co., Ont., Can.; died Nov. 20, 1934. She was married to Joseph M. B. Martin, Jan. 1, 1908, in Waterloo Co., Ont. One son was born to them; died Jan. 22, 1909. In April, 1912, they adopted a homeless baby boy. On Oct. 13, 1915, Bro. Martin died of typhoid fever. On April 22, 1917, Susie was married to Cyrus Eby of Emmet Co., Mich., where they have since resided, faithfully laboring for the family and home of her choice. On Sept. 25, after a busy forenoon, she was suddenly stricken with what seemed to be a severe stroke of paralysis. For eight weeks she lay entirely helpless on her right side, without murmur or complaint, not being able to make known her few needs and wants many times. After lying unconscious from Friday until Tuesday forenoon, she peacefully fell asleep. She leaver her husband, adopted son (Mahlon Martin), 6 step-children (Jeremiah, Israel, and William Eby of Brutus, Mich., Mrs. Harvey Brubacher of Brutus, Mich., Mrs. Manassah Kulp of Alanson, Mich., and Mrs. Clayton Kelmer of Narvon, Pa.). Also 2 sisters in Canada (Mrs. Josiah Kuarr and Mrs. Gingrich) and 1 brother (Michael Martin of Brutus, Mich.), besides a host of other relatives and friends who will miss her in many ways. Thus ends a busy life spent for others. The funeral was held Nov. 22 at the Maple River Church, conducted by Brethren Henry Brenneman and Daniel Brubacher in German and in English by Bro. Clyde X. Kauffman. Text, II Cor. 4:15-5:1. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28586560/susannah-eby
